Master Kush x Silver Haze 1st Grow - YAY!

[Bodom Children Of]

Something you don't typically see in the grow logs:

The emotional/human aspect of it. I have mixed feelings - I am super stoked to come home from work and see two small light-green round leaves on one of the sprouts - and the rest of them about to do likewise. Very cool.

It's tough to not tell anybody. It's hard to be so excited and want to share with others - but not be able to.

The paranoia sets in. I have trouble posting on this forum, thinking that the feds are watching my online activities. I'm freaking out about someone seeing my setup. I'm scared of Uncle Sam.

I'm angry. I'm angry that in the supposed "Land of Freedom" I cannot grow a PLANT without fear of having my life destroyed.

I'm happy - because I know that soon I'll be able to experience enjoying marijuana that I personally grew and cared for.

Growing is a strange experience so far. I have been reluctant to post pics of anything due to my paranoia too.

Interesting times... I'm rambling.

After being on the forums a while you will see that people do not get busted near as much as you would think. Keep half way low profile and your fine. Feds haven't busted me yet and i post pics.:smokin:
I'll try to let you know if they do...hahaha:dance:

Bodom Children Of Reviewed by Bodom Children Of on 10-17-2006. Master Kush x Silver Haze 1st Grow - YAY! First off let me say what a pleasure it is to speak to you guys, and read through all of this information and be a small part of the community. And, many thanks to Zandor for everything he does to bring us so much information, I am an avid listener to the Grow Report - and I love the show. So here's my grow log, I'd appreciate your help. I haven't really seen many grow logs that fully detail every step, so I thought I'd do that with mine, and let you guys see what I've done. Size and Rating: 5

Thanks for the support, guys. I appreciate it.

The little plants have grown even more, they're about 1" tall now - the rounded leaves are curling and dying a bit, but now I have sets of pointed leaves beginning to grow out from the stems.

Temps are stable around 80 degrees. So I have that problem solved. I've decided to now decrease the humidity to 50%. It's holding around 50-55%.

I'm going to post my design diagrams for the grow container - it's easier than explaining the pictures. I'll get them up asap.

SO:

Day 5 since planting. All sprouted and about 1" tall.

Day 7: Still about the same height as a couple days ago, but the first serrated leaves are now about twice the size of the cotyledons on all three plants.

I noticed that the surface of the soil and some of the vermiculite on one of the plants has begun to turn a bit green - like there's the beginnings of a moss or an algae growing on the surface. Should I be concerned?

Here's a hint. Your going to see shit happen that doesn't happen outdoors. Moss on the top of your soil, green covered algea on your perlite, burn marks on the tips cause you've over-ferted. One fingered leaves cause you've left your honeys alone for a week without care, lets see... oh. pumps that fail for no reason, flys, little flys, little moths, the list goes on and on.... welcome to growing tomatoes!

You handle each by reading first.... any and every problem has been handled by someone on this board... and if it hasn't you've got some really special tomato plants. The one dreaded thing you always must stay away from is MOLD. Never... Never... Never let mold set in. Black Mold is the worst. But also remember that if you keep your 'work' are clean, don't over water, measure first... pour later, you will be a happy man in the end, and reap the fruit of your labor.

I'm totally against people posting seedlings each day (personally) but, do as you wish.... it's a free country. Trophy plants posted... not my business, actually none of it is my business. The only thing is that LEO is always watching to see if he can make a bust. With the new terrorist laws, and other bullshit, the 'War on Drugs' well... just be careful and think.

You've got a great start, and with the algae... it never really hurts anything. You can always just get rid of the top layer.

Also... if you have any dead leaves laying around on your growing substrate ... get rid of them... they will fester into the dreaded mold after a few weeks or days in some cases.

GL growing... and relax. It's a hearty plant that takes a bit to kill off.... I should know... I've done everything there is to fuck up. But yet they never die. Just go back to the basics... water-air-light when you have problems and go from there.

Hydro... thanks for the words of encouragement, man. A person gets the idea around here that cannabis is the most fragile and temperemental plant on Earth - and that any little mistake will spell certain doom, so I stress out a little when I see something wierd.

We're coming along well though - 11 days after planting the seed, about 8 days after germination and it's looking well. Nice deep green leaves, I have one full set of 4 serrated leaves on each plant now. I noticed that 2 of them were looking like they were stretching for light, so I got them up higher.

So far, so good.
